Cancer & The Workplace: The Role Of Occupational Health

Half of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. And it’s a diagnosis that’s now impacting more younger people. This means that cancer is becoming a more important issue in the workplace.

If you work in HR, management or leadership, how can you best support staff who have received this news, or are on the journey of treatment? If the diagnosis has ripple effects in your team, how will you respond to support others and maintain a healthy, productive workplace? And how can you best negotiate a person’s departure from, and return to, work?

In this webinar Occupational Health Doctor LOUISA EGBE, Psychologist JESS BRAINCH and HR Business Partner at Pancreatic Cancer UK PETE O’CALLAGHAN will help you think through answers to these questions, so you can develop your knowledge, confidence and ability to respond well to the many different scenarios and stages that may play out when cancer impacts someone in your team. Hosted by our CEO LEANNE MAREGA.
